I have mounted c: as /c as well, but in this case it is umount-ed at the moment. It is important that sh.exe be able to find itself to execute shell scripts. So I went so far as to put a few critical programs like sh, ls, cat, rm, etc in c:\bin to see if sh.exe could always find what it needs. This is the question: At DOS with paths set up so that the H-i586-cygwin32/bin directory can be found, should I be able to simply type: sh ls and get a directory? As it is, sh cannot find ls in this way. Is this bad syntax, or is this normal behavior? My mounts are down below.
